This is a gem for those of us who just want peace and quiet. The campground is behind the owners home and store. There is a bath house that is always clean. There are only 4 RV sites the rest are tent sites some with electric. There are no pads just a gravel area. Each has a fire ring and picnic table. Pets are welcome. - gill3427

It's campgrounds like this that make picking a rating so hard. If you want a remote, peaceful location--although weekends are probably pretty busy--with awesome fishing but fairly basic campground amenities, you would give this top rating. Unfortunately I like to have access to a touch of civilization, including a Verizon signal and at least a couple of TV channels, if possible, neither of which existed. The saving grace was that campground wifi was strong so my email worked. Beyond all that, this is an incredibly beautiful area. The $21/night price is for 30 amp electric and very reasonable. 50 amp electric is just $2 more. Most sites have a mix of sun/shade. The camping pads are asphalt, but many are covered by silt/sand. When it rains, drainage is problematic in many spots. In fact you probably want to avoid the area in times of heavy rain as it is subject to flash flooding. Most sites are fairly level and spacious, roomy enough for larger rigs. There are laundry machines in the two main bathhouses.The lodge dining room is very nice and the one meal I had there was wonderful. Camp store sells fishing licenses, equipment, and other goodies. - aowcarol

This is one of my favorite places to camp and we come here at least one weekend a year. Most of the campsites are very large and have at least partial shade. Most of the sites are reservable but there are a few first-come/first-served. I recommend either making reservations or getting there early because the campground is full almost every weekend from March through October. There are two bathhouses and two dump stations. The wifi works fairly well, but you will probably not have a cell phone signal. This is one of the state's trout parks and is my favorite place to fish since parts of the river are away from the road. There is plenty to do even if you don't fish: hiking trails, playgrounds, feeding the hatchery fish, the historic mill or floating the Current River. You can't swim in the park but you can drive a couple miles downstream to swim. There are several canoe rentals in the area. - JeniLynne

Spent one night passing through. About 6 miles off expressway. Nice couple owns the place. They were closing the store for the winter. Gave us a choice of several pull through sites. Our site was just long enough for the motorhome and toad without unhitching. We had a problem with power at the pedestal and owner came out right away to troubleshoot and fix. Unfortunately, we were unable to use the turn around without unhooking the car when we went to leave. We think it would be a nice place in-season. Verizon weak and couldn't pick up wifi. - cincychic

Most of the sites at this campground are taken by long-term stays. It seems that there are only two that are available for overnighters. It is probably best to call ahead to make a reservation. The owner does not live on the property but has a camp host on site. We had little interaction with other campers, but did have a neighbor that decided to party a bit. It is right along Highway 63 about 15 miles outside of Rolla. There is some highway noise but it quiets down at night. There are a number of street lights, so it is rather bright in the park at night, which we found annoying. The sites are grass and gravel and most have enough slope, you may have an issue leveling. There is WiFi in the park but it was extremely slow so we gave up on it an used or Verizon Hot Spot, which worked well with 4g. There are a few trees, but we had no problem getting a DirecTV signal. We did not use the bathroom, but did use the laundry. A bit expensive at $1.75 each for wash and dry, but overall clean and functional with two washers and driers. There is a defunct swimming pool with mucky water. There are not a lot of options in this area, so we would likely stay here again. - TheJim

This is a small park with a fair number of full time residents, but is very welcoming and friendly to even over nighters. The couple who run the park are great to work with and remembered us even though we have only stayed there for a single night on two different occasions over the last two years. Even though this RV park requires us to go about 16 miles out of our way, we will use Three Springs whenever we are headed south to Texas which we do at least annually. Not a lot of amenities, but a good place to stay with our travel trailer. - David642

About 5 miles from freeway. Very clean and quiet. Full hookups. Fast Wi-Fi at site near store. There were a lot of RVs stored in campsites long term without owners present. Trout fishing nearby. Would stay here again. - Mark and Karen

The Meramec Springs Country Store campground is a clean and friendly place to stay. There are some trees on each lot. The newer pull through lots have new trees so not much shade there but plenty on the top of the hill if you wish more shade. The park is quiet and peaceful during the week. On weekends at the height of the camping season it's a busy place but still a very nice campground. The newer pull through spots are a little narrow and unlevel. The campground is just up the road from a great trout fishing spot. There is shopping about five miles from the campground. I read a review that was suppose to be for this campground but they got it mixed up the state park up the road where the trout fishing is. This park is a modern and updated site and we have been coming here for several years. My husband has family in this area. - karab2779

This is a trout fishing park. It does have a playground for the kids. The RV sites are all heavily shaded but not much grass gravel roads and level sites. Bathroom and showers are old and not well maintained. No laundry and NO DUMP. But if you like large wooded sites and the feeling of being out in the boonies you would probably like this. Its not a bad place but overpriced for what you get. For my money go down the road 45 miles and stay at Montauk State Park, cheaper and better park. - firedoc

This is a lovely rustic campground in a beautiful area along the Current River. There are flush toilets and sort of warm showers though we didn't use them. The sites are grass with occasional patches of sand, and many have nice shade. Surprisingly for a rustic, NPS campground, many of the sites are big enough for large trailers and 5th wheels. A few sites would be ok for motorhomes too. Be aware of trees as you get into your site though. The campsites generally require a lot of leveling, but the end result is worth it. Note the campground fills completely during the summer boating season, and it fills weekends even in the spring and fall so reservations should be used if you really want to stay here. We like to spend a week here each fall. No cell service, no satellite view since you are in a deep river valley. - UTTransplant

Last year the restrooms were clean and sanitary. Last week 7/19/13 the restrooms were hot meaning no air circulation, and they smelled bad. The campground allows generators which are loud and take away from the nature affect. Neighboring campers stayed up to 1:00 a.m yelling, cussing and laughing out loud. Did not see or hear of a camp host or park ranger inspecting the camp site after 8:00 p.m. Someone near the camp host site was screaming the F word over and over during the night. We heard this person scream the F word over 12 times in one hour at 11:00 p.m. Where was camp security? All they need to do is use a little bleach water to clean the rest rooms. Also turn on any kind of fan in the hot rest room. Stagnet air with a bad foul odor is not pleasent. Also, the showers only had cold water. It did not matter since the shower room temp was very hot and the smell was bad I did not stay in the cold shower for more than a few seconds. I was glad to leave the shower to breath and cool down. - jimhmays

A very nice secluded park along the Current River. We had a particular site that was just a few steps from the river with our own private sandy beach. No hookups, but it seemed to be generator-friendly, and there is a water spigot centrally located to fill your tanks as needed. We just stopped for one night, but it appeared to be a popular camping destination. Self-registration center; $14.00 a night. - JaredWPhillips

This is a gem in St. James, Missouri ! I found this park on Google reviews & RV Park Reviews. There are about 25 sites, each with picnic table, fire pit. Had full hook ups, mostly back ins. There are trees everywhere, hiking trail right from the park. Trout fishing is great here, we were told, but we don't fish. Only about 5 miles from interstate, through an adorable town. The owner was awesome, she came out immediately & helped my husband back in ! Our stay for one night came to $27.00 and so worth it ! Wifi not great but we had our Verizon hot spot so no worries. TV was so so, but we didn't come to watch TV! We would definitely stay here again & would have extended our stay, but there is a chili cook off this weekend & they are booked. - Stellagracie

This campground is about 8 miles south of the freeway, situated behind the owner's home. It is small and well managed. The owner met us at the entrance and led us to our site. It was an easy back-in. Very quite and next to a county park with plenty of places to walk with your dog. I would highly recommend this park. I would suggest to the owner however, that she paint the basketball backboard mounting pole florescent orange and clearly mark it. Paying attention to the owner, who was leading us to our site, I barely missed hitting it! Absolutely no other complaints! - jamesboardman

The owner is an absolute doll and the folks that are long term in the campground are some of the nicest folks we have come across. We were here for one night and it was absolutely perfect for us. The hook ups were fine. The owner is very accommodating. She has some very cute bunnies on site and the property is very cute. We would definitely stay here again. The sites are gravel and level. There are lots of large, beautiful trees, trimmed back so that they do not touch the campers. - Monica C

Nice Forest Service campground on the Huzzah creek. During the week in October I had the lower loop to myself. Fall colors were beautiful. The non-electric sites were nice and level. The few electric single sites are large but are unfortunately not level and the pads are narrow. There are a few double electric sites that are level but twice the price. Site 28 was the most level of the single electric sites. - Kevin5203

This is a nice relaxing National Forest camp ground. Paved roads and paved pads. A few sites have 30 Amp electric that worked very well. Several threaded water spigots available to fill fresh water tanks from. No dump station - need to dump at a private RV resort. Huge sites but some of the RV pads were narrow with big drop offs at one or both sides of the pavement. The paved entrance road and camp roads are well maintained. The entrance road was due for some tree trimming, but it was not too bad - had to drive around a few low-hanging branches.

Overall this is a great place to get away and enjoy the forest, Huzzah creek with its really neat brown gravel and the very tall red bluffs. - eb145

Loggers Lake is in the Mark Twain NF, 7 miles south of Bunker, MO, Hwy 72. It is rustic camping, all sites are on the 40 acre lake, have paved parking, a picnic table, lantern pole. I've been camping here since 1962, started out in a tent, recently graduated to a small motor home. This is total peace and quiet. Two boat launches, electric trolling motors only. Lots of large mouth bass. Great swimming, hiking trail around lake. This is not for "city" folk who like showers, it's for people who know how to "camp". I love it. - logger1939

This is a small campground with about 6 or 8 full hook ups and many with just water and electric. Tents are allowed. The pool is very small but recently redone. The shower house is only a couple years old. They are always making improvements. The owners are Christians. He is handicapped but is always working hard to please his customers. Not far from town and near Meremac Springs and the Floating Capital of the USA. - Nana Gayle

Stayed for one night while passing through the area. Quite a way off of I-44, but that makes for a quiet night! Gravel roads & gravel sites. Utilities worked correctly. Good power, water, and sewer. We couldn't get wifi. No cable. Too shady for satellite. only 1 station over the air. As mentioned by others, the owner is VERY friendly, very accomodating and always working outside and doing something to improve the property. We're not sure what else is in the area for recreation activities, but this would be a good base camp while out and about during the day. - FireFlyer

When we arrived we went to check in, the staff was far from friendly..we Reserved a pull thru site and we did not get one. Dumpsters are not convenient, the site next to ours left 2 large bags of trash we saw several employees drive by and look at the trash but never removed it. The trash sat there all weekend. Also large trucks an school busses drove right in front of our campsite to pick up floaters and drop off canoes this lasted for hours... Very loud and annoying. The pool was also non functional, they have absolutely no wi fi,television or phone service. We will absolutely never return! - Tracey Elking

We had a wonderful experience while we stayed at Indian Springs! The workers were very friendly and thoughtful. We have camped and floated here many times and always left feeling that it could not have been better than it was. I would recommend this resort to everyone. They are very family friendly with a pancake breakfast on Sunday and bbq another night. The price is very competitive, especially during the week. Come here to relax and have fun! - Kathleen K

Rates are $15 per night for water and electric, plus $10 per person per night. This place is right on the Meramec River which makes it convenient for floating, but the prices are way too much for the quality and cleanliness of this "resort". We camped in a motor home and it was impossible to run the a/c as there is no 50amp in the campground. The restrooms were definitely not clean, and the restroom facilities were totally stopped up with sewage. The motel room for other family members was musty, no tv, a regular double bed and very basic, as well as the ceiling had never been finished. I would certainly not recommend this campground. - Use2bBandman
